Ngakma Nordzin explores the sutric teaching of ‘The Four Thoughts that Turn the Mind to
Practice’ as vividly relevant to our everyday lives: the extraordinarily precious
opportunity to live as an honourable human being; the experience of impermanence that
pervades our existence as an opportunity to awaken; the emotional and psychological
patterning which dominates our lives; and the seemingly endless cycle of
dissatisfaction in which we imprison ourselves. This clear, direct and incisive
commentary will be enjoyed equally by those who are new to Buddhism as well as
experienced practitioners. Each chapter ends with a series of questions and answers which
are both pragmatic and inspirational.
